Version 6 (released 2013-02-18)
This version is from a user perspective mainly about services. The setup of default services and dynamic calculations of service parameter values makes it possible to automatically link services to consignments and calculate parameters for the services. This version also supports agent offices received from LogTrade through web services based on recipient address.
For a partner the setup wizard has been more streamlined and easier to use with file open dialogs, easier import of shipping agent mapping data etc.
New functionality:
- It is now possible to specify more parameters for default services. It is now possible to use also these fields when setting up the prerequisites for a default parameter to be applied: – Document Type – Source Type – Source No – Address Code The default services are also easier to work with since it now is Shipping Agent and Shipping Agent service that are used instead of Forwarder and product when setting up the default services.
- Calculated Default Parameter Values are now supported. The following calculations are supported: – Outstanding Order Value – Qty. to Ship Value – Company Bank Giro No. – Company SWIFT Code – Language Code – Order Gross Weight – E-mail Address – Mobile Phone No. – Currency Code – Reference
- It is now possible to setup generic service shortcuts for e.g. e-mail which is linked to all similar services in all products. It is also possible to setup default services on different combinations of Shipping Agent/-Service, Source Document Type, Source Document No., Source Type, Source No and Source Address Code. This way it is possible to setup that e.g. an e-mail advice service shall be used for a specific customer regardless of shipping agent/-service. It is also possible to use this default setup for specific documents so e.g. a salesperson gives instructions to be used by the yet not created consignment. On the shortcuts (inherited down to default services) it is possible to set if the service is mandatory or if the user can confirm a missing service. This way it is possible to setup mandatory services for e.g. a customer or that e.g. CashOnDelivery is mandatory.
- It is now possible to look up a list of available Agent Offices in the field “Agent Office ID” on a consignment. The lookup triggers a web service request to LogTrade which returns the available agent offices based on the location of the recipient. It is also possible to display an agent office in Google Maps (or any other web-based map service accepting longitude and latitude as parameters).
- It is now possible to setup default send action on individual forwarder products that will (if set) override the Default Send Action in LogTrade Setup.
- The import of shipping agent mapping blanked out Shipping Agent Code on the Forwarder if the last forwarder product for the forwarder was not mapped to a shipping agent service. This has been corrected.
- The user interface in the Import/Export tool and the file management in the Setup Wizard has been reworked.
- The XML import for setup data did not handle Boolean fields correctly. This has been corrected.
- The import of shipping agent mapping data has been simplified in the setup wizard so it’s simply a file open dialog that is prompted to the user instead of the full functionality in the Export/Import page.
- When selecting a local file for default settings in the wizard and the export/import toll it is now possible to open a file open-dialog with the assist edit button and choose the file.
- It was not possible to export shipping agent mapping after the setup wizard had been run. This has been corrected. Released in *.05.HF1 for NAV2013
- It was not possible to import xml-files from local file system in NAV2013 using the export/import settings function if the NAV server was running on a separate machine or on the same machine but under a different user account than the client. This has been corrected. Released in *.05.HF1 for NAV2013
- If update of Packages Types or Services was executed for a specific forwarder or product all services were deleted and not just for the specific forwarder or product. This has been corrected.
- “Sender Customer No.” and “Sender EUR Customer No.” was not cleared when a “Sender Address ID” was entered. This has been corrected.
- The functionality for truncating values from standard NAV into shorter fields in LogTrade Connect has been partially rewritten to make the functionality easier for the user and more flexible so the same functionality also can be used for phone numbers, e-mail addresses etc. The truncation code now looks at the actual field length instead of a parameter in the setup to decide if truncation is needed.
- It is no longer a requirement to have property values for all service properties since there exists services in LogTrade where property values are not mandatory.
- The length of the field “User ID” in table 12057526 “LogTrade User Setup” has been increased to 50 characters in the 7.0 version of LogTrade Connect. Released in *.05.HF1 for NAV2013
- The field length for e-mail addresses has been increased to 70 characters which is the new field length in LogTrade.
- The Customs Invoice functionality has been moved to LogTrade Connect Adv. Mgmt. If you have imported version 05 you will need to delete table 12057569..12057572 and form/page 12057577..12057580 before importing the version 06.
- Shipment Template Code has been changed from datatype Code(10) to Text(20) to conform with LogTrade. Please note that if you have values in this field these must be “taken care of” when importing the objects.
- The option value “AnyInvoiceType” for the field “Default Customs Invoice Type” in Setup and “Type” in Customs Invoice Header has been changed to a blank value. If “Type” is blank when sending the shipment “AnyInvoiceType” will be used as value.
- The field “Paying Customer No.” was editable when Payer = Recipient. This has been corrected.
- Two controls where missing captions in the Setup Import/export form/page. This has been corrected.
- It was not possible to enter Shipping Agent Code in the RTC-versions of Setup Wizard. This has been corrected. Released in *.05.HF1 for NAV2009/2013
- If you tried to send a prepared consignment with action “prepare” from the consignment worksheet an error was shown to the user. This has been corrected.
